Awareness Event Held at Keiokaku Velodrome!
On Sunday, March 1, 2026, we held our annual Gambling Addiction Awareness Event at the Keiokaku Velodrome in Chofu, Tokyo. Many visitors stopped by, making it a valuable opportunity to share accurate information and provide resources for those seeking help.
At this year’s event, we organized two programs so that more people could participate and learn while enjoying the activities:
At this year’s event, we organized two programs so that more people could participate and learn while enjoying the activities:
1. LOST Screening Survey
We conducted a survey using the “LOST” screening test, a tool designed to identify potential gambling addiction. This provided an opportunity for visitors at the velodrome to reflect on their own habits and consider, “Is this something I should look into?” We are grateful to the many people who participated.

2. YouTube Live Stream & Talk Show
We hosted a live-streamed talk show featuring Mr. Ryo Eda, a freelance announcer who is himself in recovery from gambling addiction. His personal insights helped deliver our message in an approachable and relatable way.

Gambling addiction is a treatable condition, and recovery is possible with the right support. If you feel concerned about yourself or a family member and think, “Could this be a problem?”, please feel free to contact our organization.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff at Keiokaku Velodrome for their immense cooperation, and to everyone who participated in the event.
